SUCKER SIDE ECONOMICS, Why you can't win in the current money game - tom dennen

WHY CAN'T YOU WIN?
YOU AIN'T ALLOWED IN!

I mean, why let people in on how to really make money if you hold all the patents on it?
America is a nation of suckers who all think they are one of the two born to catch the one born every minute.
"One of the riskiest things in the world a person can say is, 'I have $10000.
What shall I do with it?' The problem with announcing that you do not know what to do with your money is that it attracts millions of people who do know what to do with your money - take it." - Donald Trump, 'Why We Want You to be Rich'.

Here's the latest put-your-money-in-the-basket scam (way ahead of 'back taxes owing? and 'Criminal Record keeping you from a job, we'll fix it for you) is... FOREX! How to make money trading currencies.
"Trade Forex Online with GFT. Free' Practice Account. Try Risk-Free Now,"
they offer, and "Open Free $100K Practice Account. Real Time Pricing. Low Spreads" plus
"Forex news and polls, Forex Trading - strategies, and the latest market news from Forex Trading analysts."
Sounds too good to be true? Yep. But the only people it's true for is the guys who get a cut from your trade, buy or sell, win or lose which is what happens when you start using your own money.
But there aren't any courses on that part of the deal!
How many Americans still smoke knowing that it's a certified serial killer?
And, it's been revealed, a radioactive serial killer?

"Millions are spent on anti smoking and anti tobacco use campaigns, but so much more is spent on advertising the stuff that it doesn't matter, even though "Tobacco is the only legally available consumer product which kills people when used entirely as intended." - Dr. John Hurt, Boston's Lahey Clinic tobacco abuse center.

The key phrase is, "it doesn't matter" because money talks and the closer you are to it, the better you can hear it: the more money spent the better the message gets to you - ask any politician.
In a society where 'things' are rated far higher than any form of wisdom, its people will soon find themselves addicted to things, things and even more things - bigger things, 'better' things and not lone whit of the small wisdom needed to stop suicide by smoking.
But that's not the intent.
Addiction to 'things' hides the addiction to 'materialism' which ends up as addiction to debt, which brings us back to 'sucker' side economics: Money based on debt or 'the greedy leading the greedy'.
We all blame Wall Street for today's grand theft of the planet's assets, but Wall Street knows that suckers will gamble in their casinos even when the suckers know that the house is rigged.
Tough shit, guys! Caveat emptor!
Things will only start to change when the ongoing robberies start to affect the lower end of the establishment, the self-appointed entitled - the 'us guys' people who think that they are part of the ruling elite right up to the point when they discover that they too are suckers.


Anyone popped a Wisconsin / Ohio / New Jersey / Maine... picket line today?
